Citation Presentation to Debi Balog
This week, my staff presented a Pennsylvania Senate Citation to Debi Balog from Johnstown Area Regional Industries (JARI). Debi spent 21 years dedicating herself to helping businesses fill jobs as the workforce development director. While doing this, she established lifelong relationships with those individuals that filled the jobs, as well as the businesses she worked with. Her dedication and passion will not be forgotten. Congratulations and Best of Luck to Debi! Ceremony at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center
This week, my staff attended the Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center (Conemaugh Health System) “D” Building Topping off Ceremony. The last steel beam was placed for the 75,500 square foot new addition that will consolidate the surgical support services and cardiovascular services, which will allow the hospital to establish a heart institute. Congratulations! Reports Outline Natural Gas Costs and Readiness this Winter
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission has released its 2022 Winter Readiness Overviews covering the reliability and expected cost of natural gas service this winter. According to the Readiness Report from the Energy Association of Pennsylvania, home heating costs are expected to rise significantly over the winter, driven by an estimated 5% increase in consumption (for households that use natural gas as their primary heating fuel), along with a 28% rise in natural gas prices compared to last winter. Additionally, all of Pennsylvania’s major natural gas distribution companies indicated that they have sufficient supplies and procedures in place to ensure reliable natural gas service this winter. You can find details and local utility reports here. Making the Holidays Brighter for Military Families and Veterans
